Just wondering, is there ever going to be a new server along with new pvp servers, so that players can have a bit more of a chance when joining pvp servers instead of going against people who have skilled up for the past 4 years or however long its been.

Stop please, we have too much server PvP or not.

Isn't possible play with only 50 players each server. If you add another they'll become 20 each server.

I'm certain more servers will be added to any cluster if and when the player count of that cluster grows.

thats because people dont wanna join cause they're low skilled and will take years to get to that level.


 


and 50 is alot from when i used to play, there was only 40 odd on peak hours.

No more empty servers, in fact, less PvP servers, all of Epic could fit into one single map, and you ask for more servers?   if anything, a new PvE server attached to the freedom cluster, where the players actually need more room to expand.

Epic isn't even 2 years old yet, and it has 2x skill gain and a curve which effectively makes it 5 times faster for new players to catch up. The entire purpose of this crazy skillgain is because it is easier for new players to catch up. We are talking months, not years to have a great pvp account. So it seems you already got the new pvp servers you request, but you missed the release. It is not too late to join yet though.

The game is not in anyway marketed well enough to warrant a influx of new players. Never has been, never will be. The marketing guy they hired first piece of work was the horrid display of Rolf in a Wurm cottage, trying hard to speak English and failing.


 


No Marketing = No new players = No new servers.


 


All the updates and the game finally looks good enough to present to the world, but that would take a huge investment, one that Rolf is either not confident enough to do, or just has tight pockets and does not understand that business is about taking a risk.

We don't need more PvP servers, we need more people to populate the existing PvP servers.


 


Skills always matter but two or three mediums ganking a high end pvper have a reasonable expectation of taking him/her down. You can make up in numbers what you lack in top end skill.


 


Any PvP focus should be on how to deal with meta situations and how to grow the population. The rest you leave up to the players to sort out for themselves.

A new server might be closer than we think even thought they said there were no plans for one they did tweet about a new server not that long ago.

"We currently have no plans to do so, but if we made a new server in #wurmonline, then what would you call it and how would the terrain be?"

No, we don't need new pvp servers. We have Epic and Chaos.


It's pretty easy on both the clusters gain pvp skill like FS, weaponskill and shield skill to 70 in a short time.


Please stop this story against noobs and veterans, what a fresh player need it's the courage to come on a pvp server joining a faction or create a new one.

Have a look at Wulfgar's post again. Epic is what you need. And if the curve doesn't tell you anything then all I have to say is that 50 skill is like 75 and 70 skill is like 91 skill.


 


As for the argument that you cannot compete with more skilled people:


 


1. PvP in wurm is not like duels on Freedom. If you think that with a pvp-beast account you will be able to ride alone through forests and mowing down any enemies you see then sorry but I have to inform you that if you do that you will be dying all the time (unless the forest is littered with noob shanty towns). A +10 or +20 on your combat skills doesn't make your character immortal.


 


2. Chaos is even older than Independence there are players on that server who have been playing for more than 4 years. But you can still see (relatively new) players joining there. And most of them join as fighters afaik. Doesn't that give you any hint about the "necessity" of having "uber" skills to be able to PvP? Have you ever joined a pvp server (and village) long enough to see how PvP in wurm is like (even a few sorties to simply get the idea)? 


 


3. You can always buy an older character with good stats and spend no time grinding any skills (it will cost you money though).


 


 


Now let's say that a new PvP server is added so that only people with fresh skill sets can join it. What could go wrong with it if anyone decided to join immediately?


 


1. Most villages would be under construction for quite some time (time sink that can potentially slow grinding fighting related skills).


2. No good crafters around. Bad ql weapons and armor will be available during the first weeks ( Under these circumstances good luck grinding your FS fast)


3. No guard towers around.(good luck escaping/killing that drakespirit while you are on a non-traited horse)


4. No priests for BotD and CoC to speed up skilling.


5. No matter when you decide to join such a server finding enough players to do the same may not be that easy. Epic was a fresh pvp server with new features (like the faster skill gain the curve and the valrei-events) when it was released (it's not even 2 years old). Now it doesn't have any "crazy" player numbers. So what makes you think that a new pvp server (that would probably be just a clone of Chaos or Epic in terms of gameplay) would have a better fate? Adding a new pvp server every year or two doesn't seem like a solution to me.


 


 


So on a new server you would have 2 choices:


Spend more time than you would normally do on an older server to get high skills 


or avoid joining right after the server opens.


 


But if you joined later you would still have the same "problem" that you have now: Those who joined earlier would have better skills than you!

It really doesn't take long to get a pvp "ready" account on epic and we definately don't need more servers.

lets see atm there are 11 players on affliction (pvp), 53 on chaos, 43 on desertion, 65 on serenity and 64 on elevation,  add another pvp server why?


 


The existing ones are relatively deserted as it is. another one would simply split those same numbers ever further...236 players for 5 servers?

If we make a new PvP server where everyone has to start with fresh skills, just to satisfy you and people who think like you, then your problem will come pretty quickly again. There will be people who join who will play much more than you and you will feel inadequate after a few months.

Your after transfering pristine and release to the other old servers thats been around years, already u want this to happen.. they've not even been here that long, is that to satisfy ur needs ?, and all those who are saying that about pvp, dont be mad that u will be tempted to join a new server that has a new pvp server and that u would have to re-roll ur characters.


 


its an idea, and its something i've been waiting for since the data wipe when gold was released... about 4 years ago or however long its been.


 


games unique little marketing, banner on mmorpg.com and a few other similiar sites offering a special item on signup using unique codes given, am sure that would attract in the 1000's
